You are still wrapping 3x or more the surface area... the wrap reduces the amount of heat loss... but its still 3x what would be lost from wrapped exhaust from Manifold (to the Header collector).. My exhaust is stock 02 Manifolds.. mildly ported... heat coated.. then exhaust wrapped back from the manifold.

Oh... and its on an 408ci motor..
